Writing Academic Proposals: Conferences, Articles, and Books

An important part of the work completed in academia is sharing our scholarship with others. This communication takes place when we present at scholarly conferences, publish in peer-reviewed journals, and publish in books. This OWL resource addresses the steps in writing that begin these projects that should, when working correctly, lead to scholarly inquiry and communication benefiting the individual researcher as well as her discipline.
